*Melts* What a sweetheart! I'm a big fan of snakes too... as long as they stay on their side of the double-plated glass. Nah, I'm just goshin' ya. I think they're beautiful, but I don't think I'd ever own one. The Garder snake named 'Steve' that lived under the house was as close as I've ever come. Anywho... congrats on the new addition and I'll keep my fingers crossed for that POTD nomination.
